Are your prayers specific enough that you know what it is that you want God to do for you? Or do you just say prayers with no real expectation that anything definite will result from your prayers because you believe God will just do the right thing?
Our prayers o be effective must be definite. We need to know what it is we are wanting God to do in order to really know what to pray for or when it is done in answer to prayer.

Have you ever realized that the lack of religious vocations and lay vocations in the Church are due to your lack of prayer? Jesus told us we ought to pray for laborers for the harvest, but how many of us actually do pray for priests, deacons, nuns, sisters, lay men and women for the various groups like the Knights of Columbus, Daughters of Isabela, St Vincent de Paul Society, and many others? God waits for us to pray to build up His Church. Do you do your part or fail to see how really necessary prayer is?

When we hear some talk about prayer, we hear that some prayers are answered with a no. But, in Luke 11, we find a friend being told no before being given the answer to their petition. This shows that God sometimes delays an answer in order to have us grow in faith and not give up until we obtain the thing we request.

Faith is about trust. You can trust God or you can trust in magical formulas or you can trust in a false gospel. When we consider what it means to move mountains, we must begin with the declaration of Jesus found in Mark 11:22 to: "have faith in God."

How often do you hear about Christians being hypocrites? Probably a lot. This is due to the fact that many do not live out their faith. It is only a Sunday thing, not a lifestyle. But, this is not how we are to live. We are supposed to live out our faith and not just listen to it (James 2:14).

Our faith must be placed in God and not in anything else. How do we do that? By simply realizing that it is God who creates out of nothing and not some "law of faith!"

When we are called to be Christians, the one thing we are called to is a fight. We are told that this kingdom is for the violent, because " the violent take it by force" (Matthew 11:12) and that "the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail over it" (Matthew 16:18).
But does this mean we fight in a way that is eternal with others, or is this a "fight of faith" (1 Tim 6:12)?
